On the official Alba County page, you can see a flag, red and white divided with the shield next to the hoist:
"The flag of Alba County has a red background (PANTONE RED; C0, M100, Y100, K0) with a triangular insertion (PANETONE TRANS.WHITE; C0, M0, Y0, K0) and the county's coat of arms in the middle of the white triangle. Proportion between width and length is 2:3. The white triangle has 2 equal sides; the third side is leaned at 45 degrees. The height of the coat of arms is 1/4 of the flag's width and it is placed at 1/10 of the flag's width from the left and upper sides."Jose Antonio Jimenez, 20 March 2013
The current flag was adopted sometime after 2010, and is diagonally divided
white over red. The former flag was vertically divided yellow and blue.

The flag is vertically divided yellow and blue, with the county coat of arms
centred. I have seen this flag in Alba Iulia city on the County Hall.

The significance of this flag with three vertical stripes white-red-white on
a page for Harghita County is uncertain. It uses the Alba coat of arms.

You can see the Coat of Arms of Alba County here: https://judetul-alba.ro/incarcari/2021/09/106-H-aprobare-Statutul-Judetului-Alba_compressed.pdf. It consists of a shield vertically divided, the dexter field blue with a Roman soldier in armour (white) carrying a black shield with the letters V RR on it. The sinister half is divided horizontally, the upper part red, with a silver castle gate, an aurochs head, and sun, moon, and star symbols (silver); the lower half yellow, with an oval disk bearing a pine tree, and around written SIGULLU PRAEFACTOREI AURARIEI GEMINE.
The current coat of arms of the County of Alba was adopted in 1993. There
was counter proposal that lead to 20 years of misunderstanding what should be
on the county coat of arms. That results with three more proposals - one in
2013, and two more in 2014, but the coat of arms stays as it was adopted in
1993. From the previous coat of arms, are known the arms from the era between
two World Wars and the arms from the socialist era adopted in 1968 (or 1972).
